Kathy Shaidle

I've been a professional writer since the 1980s, when I sold my first article to Seventeen magazine.

Since then, my articles have appeared in the Toronto Star, the Globe & Mail, the National Post, the Dallas Morning News, Catholic World Report, the Western Standard and other print outlets.

As well, I've written for online publications like the American Spectator, BeliefNet.com, PajamasMedia and FrontPageMagazine.com, among others.

As an online web editor and copywriter, my copy has generated millions of dollars in sales and donations for major e-commerce and non-profit organizations.

My books include The Tyranny of Nice (with an introduction by Mark Steyn), God Rides A Yamaha, and ebooks such as Acoustic Ladyland.

I've also worked as a "manuscript doctor," polishing other authors' book manuscripts for publication.
